PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is
specially formulated to provide superior protection and performance
in the most demanding applications. It provides a wide range of
protection in all four-cycle petrol and diesel engines, including
pickups, RVs, cars and off-highway vehicles and is ideal for use in
high-stress vehicles subject to stop-and-go driving, short trips,
high temperatures, frequent trailer pulling and off-road
use.
Resists High Temperature
Vaporization Conventional motor oils tend to "boil off" in
high temperatures, losing up to 25 percent of their original weight.
These vaporized oils circulate poorly, reduce fuel efficiency and
contribute to excessive emissions and engine wear. AMSOIL High
Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil resists vaporization. In
fact, according to the NOACK Volatility Test, which measures the
weight loss of an oil due to evaporation, AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50
only loses 6.0 percent of its weight in high temperature service,
surpassing rigorous European standards set at 13 percent weight loss
in high temperature testing. The superior vaporization resistance of
AMSOIL Synthetic 20W-50 keeps engine wear, oil consumption and
emissions to a minimum, while keeping oil circulation efficient and
fuel economy high.
Resists Oxidation and Thermal
Breakdown Conventional oils oxidize in high operating
temperatures, producing sludge and deposit build-up that contribute
to corrosion, increased engine wear and decreased fuel economy.
AMSOIL High Performance Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil resists oil
breakdown, maintaining its cooling and lubricating properties and
providing extended drain intervals. It continues to provide maximum
protection at temperatures that oxidize conventional oils. The
advanced heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL
20W-50 Motor Oil keep engines running in their optimum temperature
range for top performance and long life.
Provides High Shear Stability AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil surpasses the North American SAE and
European ACEA oil specifications for high temperature/high shear
(HTHS) viscosity. It retains its viscosity at temperatures and loads
that cause conventional oils to shear back to a lower viscosity.
AMSOIL 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains an extremely protective viscosity
of 4.9 cP at 302°F (150°C) in the ASTM D 4683 High Temperature/High
Shear Test, significantly exceeding test limits.
Provides Low Temperature Protection AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil maintains outstanding low temperature
fluidity, ensuring easy engine cranking for quick starts. During
sub-zero temperatures, it flows to all parts of the engine much
quicker than conventional petroleum 20W-50 oils, greatly reducing
the rate of wear and increasing engine life.
Resists Deposit Formation AMSOIL Synthetic
20W-50 Motor Oil is highly resistant to oxidation, running
significantly cleaner than conventional motor oils. AMSOIL 20W-50
has a superior detergent/dispersant additive package that, when
tested after tens of thousands of miles of use in the crankcase,
still exhibits outstanding deposit control.
Inhibits Rust and Corrosion AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion
inhibitors to protect iron parts, as well as copper, lead and
aluminum bearing materials.
Provides Extended Drain Intervals AMSOIL
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil features a superior synthetic composition
and advanced performance additives, performing much longer than
competing conventional and synthetic oils.
APPLICATIONS AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil may be used in petrol or diesel engines
requiring oils meeting the following specifications.
- API SL, SJ, CH-4, CF-2, CF
- ACEA A3, 83, E2, E3, E5
- Chrysler MS 8809A
- Cummins CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077
- Ford ESR M2C 179A
- Daimler Chrysler 228.3, 229.1
- Mack EO-L EOM EOM+
- Volvo VDS, VDS-2
- Allison C-3, C-4
- Caterpillar TO-2, TO-3
- JASO-MA
MIXING AMSOIL AMSOIL High Performance
Synthetic 20W-50 Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum
oils; however, mixing AMSOIL 20W-50 with a conventional oil will
shorten the drain period of AMSOIL 20W-50. Engine oil additives or
after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL
20W-50.
SERVICE LIFE In personal cars and
light-duty trucks with nonturbocharged petrol engines, change oil
at three times the engine manufacturer's recommended drain interval
or one year, whichever comes first.
In turbocharged petrol engines, change oil at two
times the engine manufacturer's recommended drain interval or six
months, whichever comes first.
In high-performance and racing engines, change oil
at intervals specified by used oil analysis.
In light-duty and nonturbocharged diesel engines,
change oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil analysis
support those drain intervals or six months, whichever comes
first.
In heavy-duty and turbocharged diesel engines,
change oil at two or more times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain intervals if the findings of used oil analysis
support those drain intervals or six months, whichever comes
first.
In marine craft and occasionally used petrol
engines, change oil at three times the engine manufacturer's
recommended drain interval or one year, whichever comes
first.
In fleet vehicles and industrial petrol engines,
change oil at two times the engine manufacturer's recommended drain
interval or six months, whichever comes first.
If the vehicle is equipped with an AMSOIL Oil
Filter, the filter should be changed at 12,500-mile or six-month
intervals (whichever comes first) in petrol engines and 7000-mile
or six-month intervals (whichever comes first) in diesel engines.
Non-AMSOIL oil filters should be changed at the engine
manufacturer's recommended filter change interval.
